This is my first time writing here asthe President of the Taconic RoadRunners Club. I can not tell youhow honored I am to have that title.I am certainly not worthy.
Just two years ago, I am sure mostof you had never heard of me. Even
today, I still have not met many of you in person. I havebeen editing the newsletter for the last two years. As ofthis issue, Ernie Joseph has stepped up to assist me.Nearly all the work you see in this issue is a result of hishard work and diligence. I hope that Ernie will have thetime and motivation to continue with this very consum-ing task. I know that this publication is very importantto most of you.
As president, I do want to make sure you all know what
is going on in the club. Before I started working on thenewsletter, I always felt that this club was a very myste-rious group. Almost like, if you were not part of the coregroup, you really were not welcome. Boy was I wrong!
Several years ago I decided to go to one of the monthlyclub meetings. I really dont remember why. I was
warmly greeted by many of the same faces I had seen atthe races. Enjoyed some great food and drinks, talkedabout running and promised myself to come back nextmonth. At one of the meetings that followed, a sheet waspassed around asking for volunteers for an upcomingrace. I signed up as I was not planning on racing it. To
my surprise, helping at the race was just as much funas running it, maybe more in some ways. I got to meetother runners and felt like part of a team.
Soon after that, is when I offered to help out with thenewsletter. I was asked if I would like to sit on yourBoard of Directors as the Newsletter Editor. I am happyto say, have had a role in many aspects of the clubsince. Again, I am honored to have this opportunity.
So, what is going on in the club?
Turn out at the first four races of this year is amaz-ing. Race attendance is up approximately 30% .
Financially the club is on solid ground with a run-ning balance in the checking account and a savingsaccount of over $13,000.00.
With the help of the Gregs, Greg Diamond andGreg Cohen, the club has launched a new website. Ithas an all new look and up to the moment news,
From the President - George Greiner

As you will read in these pages, the Race Teams aredoing great! The 60s Men are on fire, with a 1-2-3 fin-ish at the Scotland 10k. And there is life in the other
teams too. The 50 and 60s Women are showing theirlegendary strength and to the surprise of many, 30and 40 year old men and women are showing up torace at the New York Road Runner Club Champion-ship Races. The younger women are especially prom-ising with several fresh new faces on the team this
year.
Thats about it for now. I hope you enjoy this issue ofTRL and please, if you have any ideas to help makethis club better or just want us to consider doingsomething differently, email me at:[email protected].

The Bus
Last year we had a total of 44 runners board the Taconic Bus at Downing and Rockies. So this year we thoughtwe were OK with a 55 seater with an on-board lavatory. Hah! With a month to go we had over 44 signed upwith no end in sight. We quickly ordered a second bus but all we could get was a 25 seat coach (with no loo).
We reserved it too and come Marathon morning we just squeaked through. We had a total of 79 riders, oneempty seat. The last runners to send in their application were allocated to the coach. Next year we order twobig buses with on-board facilities up front. It seems, just like all our races in 2009, this was a banner year forMarathon transportation. Thanks to Ted Pernicano and George Grenier for bus monitor duty.
The Party
For the third year in a row apartment 620 at 230 W. 73rd was the venue for the post-Marathon runners R&R.While 29 signed up for the food, drink and shower only 15 marathoners staggered over. We had heroes, sides,chip and pretzels from Fairview Market and all the juice, soda, beer and water you could consume. We also hadBarbara Brittans fantastic home-made chocolate chip cookies! Almost all took advantage of the shower and adozen rode back to the North Country on the coach. Thanks to Joe Groneman for his work helping to make this
a great success.
The Local Competitive Corral
Again this year the NYRR set aside a special corral at the Marathon start for Club Team runners who qualifiedwith excellent half and full marathon times over the past two years. After resting in their own spacious corralwith lots of adjacent port-o-sans around 400 of these lucky runners get to start right behind the elite runnersand get to cross the starting mat about 10-15 seconds after the gun goes off. Taconics earning this advantage
were Tina Batton, Kristin Colsey, both Bill Foleys, Cathy Groneman, Ellie Hashmall, Bob Hermesch, Alyssa Lifri-eri, Barry Naft, Mary Natell, Ted Pernicano and Emmy Stocker. Unfortunately Colsey and Hermesch had recentinjuries and had to pull out. As far as I know, in spite of being so close to the front, none of our runners got
trampled.

Ask Doctor Stuart Weitzman
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common injurythat affects tri-atheletes, runners, cyclists, martialartists and dancers. It is characterized by an ache ortenderness on the outside of the knee progressing intoa sharp, burning pain that can also travel up thethigh. ITBS usually starts to hurt during the middleor at the end of the workout when the Iliotibial Band
(ITB) becomes inflamed because it is rubbing over abony part of the knee. ITBS is usually included inrepetitive stress disorders, but it can occur when aperson increases mileage or intensity or workouts. Itcan also start to affect someone with lower mileage
weeks (~10-15miles).
What is the Iliotibial Band (ITB)?
The ITB is a flat, wide fibrous band that runs downthe side of the thigh from the side of the pelvis (iliaccrest) to the lateral part of the bone just below theknee (tibia). Its muscle action is to move the thigh in
Abduction (or move laterally) and thus providing sta-bility to the outer knee joint by helping control inwardmotion of the thigh. The ITB has important muscularconnections by inserting into tensor fascia lata, glu-teus maximus and gluteus medius muscles at the topand attaches at that insertions with vastus lateralis(part of the quad muscle) and biceps femoris (outsidegroup of the hamstrings) at the bottom by the knee
joint. The muscular connections show how it can af-fect neighboring muscles and their movements. Thefunction of the ITB is to slow down or decelerate ad-duction (movement toward the midline of the body) ofthe thigh during walking or running.
What causes Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)?
ITBS starts when the Iliotibial band moves forwardand backward during knee flexion and extension andrubs over a bony protuberance call femoral condylethat sticks out on the outside of the knee joint. Thiscauses irritation, inflammation and pain of the ITB.
This occurs during flexion and extension of the kneeduring repetitive activity (running, cycling, dancing
and kicking in martial arts). This syndrome is often ac-companied with weak hip abductors (i.e. gluteus medius)and can make the Tensor Fascia Lata work harder and
strain the ITB.
Some other factors that may contribute to this syndromeinclude: being bow legged (called genu varum), excessivepronation of the foot (flat feet), and leg length discrep-ancy. Having your running shoes too long or poor shoefit, training errors with intensity or mileage increases,muscle imbalances and running/gait factors also cancontribute. With running, you can get ITBS from work-ing out on the track only in one direction(counterclockwise) or running on the slanted dow roads.In cycling, you can get ITBS from having poor cleat posi-tion that internally rotates your foot, if your saddle posi-
tion is too far back and straining on high gears for hills.
When do I need treatment for Iliotibial Band Syndrome(ITBS)?
It may be helpful to think about injuries as a process ofsteps. You can start working on it at any step and themore proactive the better. The sooner you get it lookedat and treated, the easier to handle by the doctor and thequicker you are back to normal pain free workouts.At first, you may be able to exercise, but you have painafterwards. You could use ice, creams and stretch andget by. Next you have pain during exercise. This paindoes not affect the quality or quantity of your exercise,meaning you can finish your distance and time. Then
you have pain during exercise and it affects your per-formance by slowing you down or causes you to shorten
your distance, or both. You definitely need treatment bythis point! Hopefully you do not get to the point where
you are unable to exercise at all due to pain. By thistime you should make an appointment because you needtreatment and it may take longer to heal.
What kind of Treatments is used for Iliotibial Band Syn-drome (ITBS)?
In the very beginning the inflammation needs to be ad-
dressed with ice and possibly over-the-counter, homeo-pathic or nutritional anti-inflammatory. Traditionaltreatments such as RICE, ultrasound, electric stimula-tion, massage, stick and foam roller can make it feel bet-ter, but may not get to the cause. After a taking a his-tory of the problem and an examination we should havea better idea of the causes. To get to the cause we mustlimit training and possibly rest (a relative term for somerunners). - continued on page 7

Ask Dr. Weitzman -continued...
Checking footwear to see if it is proper fit or notworn out is important. New running shoes may bein order. Discuss workouts to see if you are doingtrack work in one direction or only running on theslanted roads. I personally run laps in the oppositedirection as well, called euro-laps on my track
speedwork days. I also try to run away from theside or slanted roads, by using less traveled roadsto run on. I would check for weak muscles of thehip and prescribe muscle-strengthening exercisesto gain more balance. Gait analysis is a key com-ponent of seeing how the muscles are working inmotion and can lead the doctor to other areas awayfrom the ITB that are contributing to the problem.
Then I would palpate the ITB and the neighboringmuscles for adhesions. As a Doctor of Chiropracticthat treats many athletes, I would use Active Re-lease Technique (ART), Instrument Assisted Soft
Tissue Mobilization (SASTM and/or Graston) tobreak down these adhesions and then Kinesio Tape
to support and strengthen the muscle in full rangeof motion if needed. ART works to break up thescar tissue at the specific location of adhesions andscar tissue while lengthening the muscles to laydown the fibers with the orientation of the muscleto ensure proper healing. The instruments workthe same way and sometimes more appropriate forcertain areas of the body. Essentially these treat-ments are like combing the muscle fibers like some-one would comb the knots out of their hair. Whenthe fibers are not stuck together then they can con-tract more efficiently and not put abnormal ten-sions on the tendons or make other muscles workharder. Then when the symptoms are minimal and
you can get back to training, we can talk aboutstretches, strengthening exercises, foam rolling,and workout progressions to maintain and preventfuture problems.
ART is the official soft tissue treatment of theIRONMAN as well as used in pro sports teams.Dr. Stuart Weitzman is full body certified, biome-chanics certified, nerve entrapment certified and anIRONMAN provider through Active Release Tech-niques. He has worked in the medical tent at theLake Placid IRONMAN and TOUGHMAN Half Iron-
man triathlon treating the athletes with ART. Heis an avid runner, does triathlons and a TaconicRoad Runner. You may see him at some of theraces. Say hi.

Run Report - The Ted Corbitt Run around Manhattan 50K+
You meet the nicest people around New York. I writemy second-ever report while the thoughts and imagesare fresh, and refreshed, in my mind. Writing these
reports will not become a regular habit; but this runhad a lot of significance to me since I grew up inNYCs Chinatown, and todays run helped bring backmany of those happy and sometimes forgotten memo-ries. So, this wont be your typical report; rather, it
will be a collection of the thoughts that ran throughmy head with the views through my eyes.
First, I give so much credit to Dave Obelkevich; a leg-end himself for having the longest streak of NYCMarathon finishes, for honoring Ted Corbitt by orga-nizing these annual runs around Manhattan which
was based on one of Teds training runs. Throughout
the day, I had the pleasure of running with many oldand new friends. To all of you runners: Thanks formaking this a very memorable day. Perhaps, well seeeach other soon when our paths/roads/trails crossagain. Last, but not least . I give props to Alex, therolling one man race crew, for his excellent supportthroughout the day.
This Wednesday past, I caught some e-mail trafficfrom Emmy Stocker about a run on Sunday. Didntknow anything about the run . except that it wasaround Manhattan. So, I traded a few e-mails withEmmy and Frank Colella and thats all there was to it.
I was committed to doing this even before I got thespecific details. Emmy/FrankWhat have you doneto me?
It would be another cold (but dry . whew!) day todaytemperatures ranging from the high teens to 30-ishdegrees with wind chills of 10 to 20 degrees. I dressedin layers topped with a fleece that I could open/closeto regulate my temperature. My hat and gloves wereon early and off later in the day. The 8:00 a.m. start
was at Daves building on 97th Street/West End Ave-nue. So, to avoid the hassle of parking, I took Metro-North to Harlem/125th Street and headed down by
subway to Daves apartment. I arrived at the sametime as a contingent from the Korean Road RunnersClub and followed them up. Dave greeted me withopen arms. Emmy and Frank arrived shortly thereaf-ter. There would be up to 30 runners today - somedoing all the Ks, some not.
We took a few photos outside the building then we
were off to the races. With the breeze coming off theHudson river, it was cold as we ran north along theHenry Hudson Parkway: we passed the George Washing-
ton Bridge, Washington Heights (where the annual NYRRCoogans race is held) and the Cloisters (where I hadgone on elementary school trips as a child I still re-member seeing the Unicorn Tapestries.) We then headedthrough Inwood Hill Park with views of Spuyten Duyviland Marble Hill (stops on my daily Metro-North commuteto the City.) We marched past Baker Field, where the
Columbia University Lions play football . although Iwent to business school at Columbia, this was my firstactual viewing of Baker Field. Our first rest stop was at
Twin Donut (218th Street/Broadway) after about 8 miles.[Approx. 8 miles.]
The next 8 or so miles brought us to our second rest stopat Bobs Bagels on 87th/York Avenue. During this por-tion of the run, we wound ourselves down and through -Broadway - 10th Avenue - Dyckman StreetSt. NicholasAvenue - up Fort George Hill - Edgecombe Avenue to124th Street/Mt. Morris Park W. One part even took usalong the NYC Marathon route down 5 th Avenue. I re-membered vividly how tired I felt both times I ran thisportion of the NYC Marathon course in 2008 & 2009.Ahhh . Central Park the home of the NYRR races, theNYC Marathon finish and Wollman Rink (where I ice-skated as a young teen.) [Approx. 17 miles.]
After my fill of Gatorade (w/ salt packs added) andchunky chocolate chip cookies, we set off across 86thStreet to the East River. This was, for me, by far thecoldest part of the run.

Run Report - continued
I was still damp and the cold air hitting my cooleddown body made me really shiver. Thank goodnessthe East River promenade was now in full sun. So,before long, I was warmed up again. The next 8 or somiles were running southbound beside/under theFDR Drive. We would pass many landmark bridges
along this route 59th Street / Williamsburg / Man-hattan / Brooklyn. When I first started my casual 2 -3 mile jog/runs about 25 years ago; I used to runacross/back the Brooklyn Bridge . so that is, Iguess, where it all began for me. We ran by Stuyve-sant Town (where my sister lives), by the South StreetSeaport (where I would go to hang-out as a teen and,then, again in my 20s) all the way down to our thirdrest stop the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. TheStaten Island Ferry also brought back memories of myteen years. My brother, friends and I would regularlytake the ferry over to Staten Island for day long biketrips. For kicks, we would spend the day riding to theother side of the island just to ride down Victory
Boulevard a big-ass, white-knuckled hill back tothe ferry terminal. Lots of work for 10 minutes of ex-treme satisfaction. [Approx. 25 miles.]
The final stretch home. We circled around BatteryPark and then up the esplanade/Greenway on theHudson River where Captain Sully landed his planelast year. Along the way, we passed the footprint ofthe Twin Towers (as a boy, I watched them go up .as a man, I sadly watched them fall), the new Stuyve-sant High School at Chambers Street (I graduatedfrom this high school when the building was locatedon 15th Street/1st Avenue), Canal Street portal toChinatown, and on Worth Street - the Church where Imet my Jen over 30 years ago and married her 8
years later, 23rd Street (home of Chelsea Piers) and tothe eastBaruch College, where I received my under-graduate degree. A few of us affectionately referred toBaruch as UCLA the University on the Corner ofLexington Avenue. We passed the Intrepid Museum;
where my cousin was stationed a few times duringFleet Week in the 90s when he was a Naval carrier jetpilot. We continued up the Greenway to the 95thStreet exit, and then we were back at Daves on 97th/West End Avenue at about 3:20 p.m. for the completeloop. [Approx. 33.5 miles.]
After the run, we took more photos; shared smiles,stories and a great sense of satisfaction for havingcompleted this wonderful journey together . withmany new friendships as a result. Like I said earlier. you meet the nicest people around New York.
So, to recap my results today - Total Distance -50K+, TimeFantastic.

Freezer 5K Series - by Joe Porcaro
Page 10 Taconic Running Life
Freezer 5K February 7, 2010 and Freezer 5 MilerFebruary 21, 2010.
On February 7th and February 21st the Taconic RoadRunners held our annual Freezer 5s. Consideringthat we had the worst winter weather in February inover a decade, it was a miracle that the events took
place. FDR Park was covered with snow and ice formuch of the month. We couldnt have held the eventon the 27th since most of us were dealing with 20inches of snow and a loss of electric power for days.Although the temperatures were bitter cold for the5K, the FDR park roads were clear. The weather atthe 5 Miler was 38 degrees and sunny (the warmesttemperature for a Freezer 5 ever).
For a number of years, the local masters runnershave dominated both races. This year was an excep-tion.
Bobby Asher, a 24 year old runner of the GreaterNew York Racing Team, won both events going away.He won the 5K in 15:53 and the 5 Miler in 26:34.Bobby was also a nominee for runner of the year inthe 20 to 24 year age category at New York RoadRunners annual awards ceremony on March 4, 2010.
The great weather on the 21st of February brought
out a record number of runners for the 5 Miler.
This year we were privileged to have a number ofrunners from the West Point Triathlon team includ-ing Brendan Fox, Tommy Daniel, Mark Freeman,Ashley Morgan and Andrea Filozof. These cadets won
a number of age group awards. In the 5 Miler AshleyMorgan was the first female in a time of 31:09. Inaddition to being the Freezer 5 Miler female cham-pion, she is the womans 18 to 24 year old worldchampion in the 70.3 Ironman. She completed the70.3 Iron man world championships in Clearwater,FL in November 2009 in a time of 4:18:33. Taconic
was proud to have such a group of Americas finestyoung leaders attend our event.
Thanks to all the volunteers who made the events possi-ble, especially those who did double duty coming out toboth races. Taconic couldnt have done it without you.

The 2009 NYC Marathon was my second marathon. I ran it 15 years ago as a newbie-I had never run more than5 miles before taking on the event. Now a seasoned runner with several races under my belt, I ran a much faster
marathon. I achieved my goal to break 4 hours with 3:48. More importantly, I raised $3500 for Freds Team/Memorial Sloan Kettering Breast Cancer Research-a cause near and dear to my heart. I dont know how to de-scribe the array of emotions I felt throughout the marathon-inspiration, exhilaration, and of course exhaustion atmile 24 for starters! I am so glad that I ran and grateful to have had the opportunity to train with 2 great runningmates who motivated me throughout the long training runs, hill workouts and speed work. I am also grateful tomy friends, family, and Freds Team supporters who cheered for me along the course. There is nothing like NYCon Marathon Day!!

There is an organized run every Saturday morning at the Pump House starting at 7:30. Paces and distances (upto 20 miles) vary widely and there are usually enough people running to find someone or a group to run with.Water and gatorade are put out by one of the runners every week. Coming for the first time? Itll be great!
Runners put out the water and gatorade. In other words, if we dont put it out it doesnt get put out and then weare all thirsty and annoyed!! Fortunately, we have the WATER BARON who coordinates the Saturday fluids.Whats most important is that you sign up to put out the water, or you will feel the wrath of the Baron.
There are two places we have water and gatorade (click the link for directions):
The Mailboxes: This is 3.3 miles from the start
The Triangle: This is 2.2 miles on Quaker Ridge Rd from stop 1.In the hot weather you may want to put it on ice. Some volunteers like to dress it up a bit with tissues, papertowels, fruit, power bars, candy, etc. but none of that is necessary. There is an award given out at the dinnerdance for the best water stop and all are welcome to compete. Use your imagination.
Coach Jack Brennan runs a workout at Rockefeller Preserve every Wednesdayeach week its a different work-out with particular objectives and challenges; contact Jack via email at [email protected] to find out

Every sport has its rules, and running is no exception.But this book discusses the unspoken rules, and runners
will find more than a grain of truth in this humorousquick read. Remy, a columnist for Runners World, listslots of runs to run by, ranging from the practical (whereto line up in a race), to the obvious (race photos neverlook good), to the chuckle-inducing (do whatever it takesto finish ahead of a costumed runner). This book is agreat gift for new runners who will learn the everydayrules of running, as well as the more hard-core, who willruefully laugh often in recognition. After all, who among
us hasnt done a farmers blow, a.k.a. snot rocket fromtime to time? If funds are tight but youd still like to readthis book, remember to check out your local library! Ifthey dont have it on the shelf, they can get it for youfrom another library at no charge. This light-heartedbook is highly recommended for runners and wanna-bees.
